Just a formless mass of translucent jelly on climate, until the opposition says / does something silly, and then they solidify into focusing solely and entirely on not being whatever that is.

It activates the fandom and it makes critique of their actual performance shift from 0.5% to 0.0001%

Gritty has issued the formal proclamation: It’s LGBTQ Pride Month. Here’s to finding yourself, your community, and all of the love and support you need to enjoy and express both — and to be able to do so safely and free from government and other interference.

I am so sick of the endlessly repetitive bad news.

Let’s stop calling it domestic or family violence and call it what it is, Cowardly Abuse.

And let’s call the men who abuse women what they are - Bloody Cowards!

You couldn't make this up. Johnson introduced photo ID as a deliberate attempt to rig the vote, knowing that poorer and younger people were less likely to possess it than the older, more settled Tory base. He promised it wouldn't make voting more difficult. He lied. Now ...

‘Stop talking and start doing.’ Rosie Batty on trolls, accidental advocacy and treating domestic violence for what it is: terrorism
In her new memoir Hope, Rosie Batty reflects on her ‘absolute despair’ at our failure to protect women and children from gendered violence – and the personal toll of becoming an unlikely campaigner.

“We should live in a country where all men are on notice that because they’re the gender which kills, rapes, bashes and abuses women and only very rarely it’s the reverse, a credible complaint from a woman means the MAN will be removed from his home, workplace… rather than the woman…” #AusPol #DV

Something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that eclipses are only possible on earth because of the insanely unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

Instead of being proud of producing Nemesis our ABC should be ashamed for not reporting any of the corruption and bastardy that was so blatant for so long, until it was too late to be useful.

When did working oneself to the bone, sacrificing mental and physical health, become a badge of honor? When did rest and enjoying what we collectively create become something to be guilty of? This is not sustainable.

Adopting Universal Basic Income can restore balance in our toil-centric society.

Results are out for the guaranteed basic income pilot in Austin where 135 people got $1,000/mo for a year.

9% of people reported working less and 7% reported working more. Of those who worked less, half upskilled for better future jobs, and half chose unpaid care work.

....asked, hello, everybody: why the everloving fuck is a major independent energy body producing a "GAS STATEMENT OF OPPORTUNITIES" for building new fossil fuel infrastructure?

Doesn't that seem criminally bonkers right now?

A neat demonstration of the nasty and corrosive both-sidesing of these issues in Aus by media: misinformation in a bunch of scare quotes and caveats ('he labelled'), except it's literally illustrated with a fake image generated by DAll-E or whatever, and it isn't labelled as such by the journalist.

Interesting read. Also, not just Teslas, another wonky headline for the day. The reasons given why EVs are crashed more by the drivers make sense. Will be a temporary situation, I suggest. Adjustment takes time.

Teslas crash more than gas-powered cars. Here’s why

Hertz recently announced it was selling 20,000 electric cars out of its fleet, and replacing them with gasoline vehicles. One reason the company gave was that drivers kept crashing the cars.
